I have 4 di-pole surround speakers at about 7ft high, at that height the do not call attention to themselves and fill the room better. In my younger days I had them low, then I grew up. I am not sure if ear level is better or not for music applications.....but it seems to me the higher more ambient the better.
Optimum speaker height for home theater.
While I was at the theater this weekend to see "Ratatouille", all of the side and rear speakers were overhead.
In home theaters that I've seen here on the 'Gon, most of the speakers were at ear level. Most of the diagrams that I've seen for home theaters were for the speakers to be set at ear level are just above.
Does elevating the side and rear speakers ten feet off the floor (as in a movie theater) give an advantage over it being at ear level.
I have really high ceilings, and I have the possibility to elevate my side and rear speakers to movie theater height.
Any sonic advantages to elevating side and rear speakers?
